Dear Diary,
I was in the south orchards today, with Big Mac, when Elusive came running in from Ponyville. At first, we thought there was something wrong and charged toward him, but as I got closer, I saw he had this goofy grin on his face and a little box hovering in his magic. Why, I didn't know what was going on, but I was powerful happy to see him.
He said, "Applejack, I couldn't sleep, and I could only think of you, and, this was my mother's, and, well, will you be my special friend?" He opened the box and there was a unicorn ring on a knot-tied necklace. "The ring was mom's, but I made the necklace to hold it. It's not much, but, will you accept it? Will you be my special somepony?"
All I could do was look at him, and his wonderful gift, with a slack-jawed goofy grin. Oh my. My heart was all a flutter, I had tears in my eyes, and I was dumbstruck.
Big Mac can get overprotective sometimes, and he's much bigger than Elusive, heck even I'm a little bigger than him. But I wished he hadn't picked such a time to be so, so, pig-headed. He started yelling at Elusive, "What do you think you're playing at colt. How dare you bother her in the middle of the work day. You're lucky you're Alex's friend, or I'd thump some sense into you!"
Alex, always protecting his friends and family. Even when he's all the way in Canterlot.
I've got to say, I was impressed by Elusive. I could tell he was scared, but he stood his ground. "Big Mac, I know you can beat me up. Being a tailor I don't have your muscles, but if you think I'll walk away because you're bigger and stronger than me, you've got another thing coming." He turned back to me and said, "Applejack, will you be my special somepony?"
I did the only thing I could. I stood between the two before Mac could start up again and said the one thing that would stop this ruckus, I said, "Yes. I'll be your special somepony."
I can't wait to tell RD and Alex. I know they'll be really happy for me.
Signed,
A Special Somepony
